The Season of Lent: 18th February - 2nd April 2026
Mothering Sunday – March 15th
This is a day of joy and gratitude, but it can also stir complicated memories.
On this day we acknowledge: Mothers who loved us well, Mothers who did their best, and Mothers we miss.
We also give thanks not only for our mothers — whether their love was steady or imperfect — but also for the wider circle of family, friends, neighbours, teachers, churches and communities who helped nurture us as we developed.
On this day, as adults, we can give ourselves permission to ‘Mother’ ourselves. Also, as we are able, to help nurture others.
